1 Campus Trash Audit By: Yusef Abuissa, Delaney Albrecht, Jordan Barnett, Cole Billings, and Sydney Bortscheller

2 Methodologies We traveled to three locations and asked for a bag each of recycling and trash to be set aside after collection We then weighed the misplaced materials in each bag 44.8lbs 2.9lbs

3 Motivation Since there are so many students on campus using the trash, changing trash habits here can have a big impact Misplaced trash is a big deal Really simple and easy to correct our mistakes It's apparent people don't properly recycle

4 Findings In our audit, we sorted through 44.6 pounds of designated garbage and pounds of designated recycling.  We removing and weighed anything that didn’t belong and calculated the % that was misplaced.  In the end 6.5% of the material in the trash by weight was recyclable 30.4% of the material in the recycling bins was actually trash. There was a lot of compostable material, but compost is very easily contaminated so compost collection would be tricky.
